I just watched some Youtube video that a man from Oklahoma took of the tornado. The sheer power... the wind is blasting on that video and I cannot even imagine how that would sound in real life. You can see those huge chunks of debris being thrown up in the air and spinning around in a slow circle.
It reminded me of a video I saw of the tsunami in 2011. Unstoppable, millions of tons of water pouring over land. Nature is so scary. There is nothing we can do (yet) as mankind to stop the raw power of natural disasters.
As a teeny tiny human being, I look at tsunamis and tornadoes and feel afraid. What are they in the grand picture, of the universe? Microscopic swirls of dust and an extra big wave. Think about a supernova... an entire sun exploding and sending its celestial guts flying out into space. What would that even look like up close?
Man... nature is scary... so much power, and it's not even sentient.
I wonder if one day human kind will figure out a way to harness power or control natural disasters?
